Beet salad
Dennis H.

Amazng restsurant . Outstanding service. Everything made to order so it is it was almost two hours. Could have been longer with dessert and coffee. Appetizers Beet salad, Onion Soup and Veal Meatballs were all yummy. My stuffed veal with cheese and mushrooms in a brown sauce was absolutely delectable so tasty. My spouse's rigatoni with spinach and crumbled sausage in garlic sauce was also delicious. They made my son who is a picky eater a plain spaghetti and meat sauce not on menu which he really liked. We had drinks nice wine pours. Service was incredible. Nice ambience Will definitely return. Expensive $90.00 pp with tip and tax without room for dessert, but you get what you pay for.

Chicken francese

Walked in, it took maybe 4 minutes for someone to acknowledge us which I didn't like because the restaurant is small as hell. We did get seated immediately. I got a lemon drop which was strong just the way I like it. My husband got jack & ginger. For appetizers we got clams casino and a Cesar salad. I will say the clams casino was good and flavorful. The Cesar salad was basic I didn't really like the dressing too much I didn't think it was worth 15 dollars for the portion but whatever. Main course we got chicken francese with angel hair and veal parm with rigatoni. The food was all good. No complaints on that! I am also a sucker for a cannoli so of course I got one and it did not disappoint. This was a very solid restaurant especially since the bill was $191 for everything we got.

linguine and white clam sauce was delectable
Jess V.

i cannot stop thinking about this meal. the veal chop radio lives rent free in my head. i dream of eating this again soon. the linguine with white clam sauce was sooo fresh the clams were excellent. burrata was delish. service was adorable love the crowd they employ.

Veal Chop Darios

It has been a long time since we visited Dario's Restaurant on North Village Avenue. The restaurant has an upscale Northern Italian cuisine with veteran loyal staff to serve you. Their most popular pasta dish is the fresh Pasta with veal sauce. Another immensely popular item is their signature veal chop, which is a veal pounded with cheese melted on top. I ordered the veal, and it was delicious. The menu is a la carte which we neglected to notice; we forgot to order a vegetable. They also introduced to the table before we reviewed the menu their fresh fish of the day. That was the first time that I have seen a fresh fish for assessment at a dining room table. The restaurant has a small bar as you enter the restaurant, and a cozy unassuming dining room which is comfortable and not noisy. It is apparent that this is a popular neighborhood restaurant where some of the patrons the owner knows by name. Although it is a bit of a drive to visit this Northern Italian restaurant in Rockville Centre, overall, the trip was well worth it.

Not sure what happened to my prior review but I cannot say enough good things about Dario's....a must visit whenever I am on Long Island. One always gets on my good side when they serve a warm, fresh baked basket of garlic bread--as they do here. The Caesar salad is consistent but the star of the show for me is their Veal Parmigiana, which I have had in cutlet and chop format. The flavor profile in both cases is outstanding as Dario's only sources it's products from the highest quality suppliers. They typically serve it with a side of delicious vegetables and I usually split a plate of their mouth watering red sauce penne; in fact it was so good I came back for lunch and ordered it the next day before heading to the airport for my flight back to Miami. Manhattan caliber Italian food at reasonable prices and impeccable service from a staff that has been around for years. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Darios is an old school Italian in RVC. Dining room is nice, not low-frills, nothing ornate. Tables spaced nicely due to pandemic protocol. We sat down and felt nice and unrushed. We were excited for a nice time and the maitre d was great. He shared some good insider information about the restaurant and the menu items. The feeling of unrushed shifted to a feeling of unresponsive. We didn't order for a long time. The dining room was busy. The servers were ambivalent to our table of six. We were so starving when we got in that I couldn't resist the table garlic bread. Drinks came, and eventually orders went in. The special salads were all incredible. Apps were incredible. Burrata app was to die for. Artichoke and red peppers in the dish were memorable. We wanted to taste the gnocchi so ordered one of those too. It was small enough of a portion, we portioned into plates. This is very much an order for yourself place. Not conducive for family style or sharing. A few of us wanted the special beet salad with pancetta (increds), so the answer was to order it individually if you wanted it. I'm not a fan of ordering something that someone else got. The stuffed veal is the way to go. The one with chestnuts really is incredible. I got the mushrooms and was not disappointed. I found the food to taste like incredibly cooked homemade food. Not over seasoned, delicious, good ingredients. I really don't like eating out at Italian restaurants but Dario's truly is different. Spumoni iced cream was very good, as was the tartuffo. All in all, a great place and I'll go back. Service was ok.

DODICI SAVED THE DAY!…read more We had an engagement photo shoot scheduled at another restaurant in Rockville Centre this past weekend, but it unfortunately fell through at the last minute. Feeling a bit panicked, we ended up meeting the owner of Dodici Ray, who graciously welcomed us with open arms and immediately let us do our entire photo shoot at his beautiful restaurant. (We can't wait to see the photos!) From the moment we walked in, the entire team, manager Chris, the bartender, and the waitstaff, made us feel so welcome. Our photographer (Danielle Jenkin Photography) was thrilled with the gorgeous decor, particularly the stunning wine wall that made for the perfect romantic backdrop. Throughout the shoot we enjoyed delicious espresso and dirty martinis, followed by a wonderful lunch and celebratory limoncello shots afterward. The food was outstanding! We loved the pappardelle pasta, mussels, octopus, pizza, and my personal favorite, the fried calamari in lemon cherry pepper sauce. We were truly blown away by both the food and the warm, kind service. We are so grateful to Dodici for treating us like family. What started as a stressful situation turned into one of the most wonderful experiences. Dodici is now very special to us, and we will definitely be back soon! Highly recommend!

My NYE good riddance. An absolute disaster tonight. 7:15 pm reservation and we left at 8:00 pm…read morestill waiting for our table. The bartender had the balls to charge me for their Italian old fashion which he did not serve, but rather a half ass old fashioned with the speed rack rye. Never again and we made sure those that were waiting at the door to leave as well. I could say more, but I am at a much better place now (look for that review). Happy New year!!

Solid Italian in the area. Came for my dad's 75th birthday on a Monday evening. Place was pretty…read moreempty. Service was meh - could've been way better. Regardless, we ordered a bunch of appetizers to share including Cesar salad, Mediterranean salad, mussels in white wine sauce, octopus, and calamari. Portions were pretty small to share between 8 people (2 kids). The bread and olive oil was awesome. For mains, we shared the penne vodka with shrimp, lobster ravioli, shrimp scampi with grilled broccoli, and eggplant parm with pasta. The two kids had their own pasta and really enjoyed it. Again, everything was so delicious but just really small.... Had we known the size of the dishes, we would've ordered more. For dessert we shared the tiramisu, tartufo, lava cake, and ice cream. Lava cake did not ooze out chocolate which was disappointing for the kids. While food is pretty good here, I'd go somewhere else for better service experience.

I came here Monday for dinner. We were excited because the reviews looked great & I have been…read morewanting to go for a while. The service was great & food delicious! They bring out warm bread with butter & olive oil with rosemary to start. Very good. We solit a Caesar salad and It was delicious! Homemade dressing and croutons. They even were nice enough to split into two plates as we were sharing. My son got the spaghetti & meatballs and It was a huge kids portion. The meatballs and sauce were good. For my main I got the lobster and shrimp ravioli - wow It was great! My mom got the bolognese and that was also delicious. My sons both got a scoop of ice cream and they were good. I'd love to come back to try more. They also have reasonably priced bottles of wine.
